Last night, I had a bizarre nightmare about flying a fighter jet in the year of 2047, trying to defeat a rogue outdated Drupal site that became sentient and decided to destroy the world akin to Horizon Zero Dawn. It also somehow involved a misconfigured view. 🥲 #Drupal

For some reason, some of the redesigned pages on Drupal.org website tasted a lot like wild blackberries, wild blueberries, grapes, and tangerines in yogurt topped with some granola, while other redesigned pages tasted like those same berries & fruits but in a mimosa instead. Why? Idk 🤷🏻‍♀️ 🫐🍇

I’m high as fuck right now, and this website tastes good. John just asked me what I want to eat for dinner, and I think it is this website. It’s got the perfect balance of savory, sweetness, texture, and zing. And it is pretty functional too!

My assumption is that OpenAI probably assumes if they start *lightly* acknowledging it, then it might somehow socially normalize it as an “acceptable” risk, thus reducing liability or something.

My darkest read is that this is both worse than they're letting on AND they're using the damage they're doing as a marketing tool. There's a non trivial number of investors that see the potential of inflicting mass psychosis as an opportunity.

Reminder: one of their *own investors* is amongst those who has lost touch with reality as a result of their product. And they still haven’t slowed down.

My big takeaway from Trump's lengthy Air Force One gaggle is that he's talking about shredding the Constitution by being in office for a third term increasingly openly.

If you don't think he try it, you're in denial.

Trump on a third term: "I would love to do it. I have the best numbers ever. Am I not ruling it out? You'll have to tell me."

among the reasons I hate AI as a term is that it makes people treat regression models like Satan
sharonk.bsky.social Sharon @sharonk.bsky.social · 9d
so I can explain this: it's not generative AI: it's usually deep learning models trained on meteorology tasks and it can be quite effective
starklyjd.bsky.social Darth J.D. @starklyjd.bsky.social · 9d
I know It would only annoy me, but if you are using weather balloons for data, where does the AI come in?

Because it sounds like they’re just doing meteorology and complicating it with AI.

41 million people (including 20 million kids) will lose access to food in a few days while a new 90,000 square foot ballroom is being added to the White House.

This political moment is profoundly disgusting.

heartbroken to learn the pope sympathizes with the poor. how can i continue to believe in god
The Pope tweets: "The poor are not there by chance or by blind and cruel fate. Nor, for most of them, is poverty a choice. Yet, there are those who still presume to make this claim, thus revealing their own blindness and cruelty. #DilexiTe" Someone replies: "I was so hopeful I could be a Catholic again after the disaster that Francis was, guess we just get Francis 2.0 now and I am heartbroken. How do I stay a Catholic now...I don't want to lose faith but I am. You belong to someone else, not God."
